The Great Gatsby

So this is it. Today here, in the Netherlands is a premier of the anticipated Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby" film. I am a big admirer of the works of F.Scott Fitzgerald and "The Great Gatsby" is one of my favorite books since I was 14. I was looking forward, itching to see the Luhrmann's interpretation of Fitzgerald's masterpiece for months, yet since the news of the new "Gatsby" film were broken I was doubting quite a lot whether the film will be a success (see here my thoughts on it back in July 2011). "The Great Gatsby" premiered in the United States on May 10th and already has made $51 million. However the film was accepted less enthusiastically (I would say "coldly") at the Cannes Film Festival. The film was met with the silence in the end while some people were already leaving during the film's premier. The responses were mildly saying "different". Tomorrow I will finally see the film myself. Make sure to check my facebook and instagram to find out my opinion on Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby". Have you already seen the film? What do you think about it? Share your thoughts on it I'd love to hear all opinions!

I have to confess that I'm diying to watch this movie, I wan't to go this weekend and i think the experience will be worth it at least to see Di Caprio and the fabulous flapper dresses.Have a great week Alexandra

Hello! Very nice blog and interesting posts, great atmosphere. Have a nice day. :)We cordially invite you to our blog:- Problems with your computer? Or maybe the problem with the program? http://technicznieinformatycznie.blogspot.com/- Photography equipment, passion. http://photographyismyexistence.blogspot.com/I hope you also enjoy it with us.

Fitzgerald is also one of my favourite authors. I really enjoyed reading the Great Gatsy, but my favourite book he wrote, is the Beautiful and Damned ;) I can't wait to see this movie, though! The premiere in Poland is tomorrow :)

I haven't yet! But I will do it SOON! Everybody is talking about it..besides the clothes are AMAZING! The other day I passed by Brooks brothers and they had an exposition in the store with some dresses from the movie..beautiful!!

I haven't seen it and I'm actually pretty sure I will not since the trailer wasn't my taste at all and I didn't find it interesting. but I have noticed quite a few ads about it everywhere around me and I think it's quite popular in Estonia too.. or at least for many Estonians it is, not for all of course :P

Hi dear, I am looking forward to reading your review of the movie...I have never seen the original so I guess I won't have anything to compare it to. A special thank you for your constant kindness on my blog...wishing you a lovely weekend!

It was also my favorite book since I was a young teen, and I used to be able to quote the back of the book by heart--so glad to see that was in the movie. I was disappointed a bit, but it had not gotten good reviews here so I wasn't expecting much. However that crystal dress she wore...still dreaming of that!
